NEWBURY PARK – Ventura County Sheriff deputies are investigating a homicide that left a teen dead Thursday night.
An ambulance was called to a home on the 400 block of Jeanne Court just after 8 p.m. on Thursday after a teenager was struck in the head with an unknown object, according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office.
The 15-year-old was in the process of being transported to a local hospital when he was pronounced dead.
A naked, adult man, identified as 24-year-old Zuberi Sharp. Sharp, is the son of convicted killer Calvin Sharp.
Sharp was spotted at nearby Newbury Park High School, where he was apprehended and eventually arrested on the school’s football field.
A neighbor told KTLA’s Annie Rose Ramos that the suspect and victim were brothers. The neighbor, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, said that the suspect suffers from mental issues and has “lost touch with reality.”
On Thursday, hours before he allegedly killed his brother, the suspect was found inside a storm drain and needed to be rescued by firefighters, the neighbor said.
The neighbor said the teenaged victim was disabled and was a wheelchair user. Authorities are yet to confirm any additional details about the boy’s identity or situation.
